Some manually artwork does not appear on ipod classic

I spent 5 hours yesterday searching for and adding cover art to my itunes albums. When I synched it to my ipod classic some of the art shows and some does not. I tried turning off the ipod and resetting it but no luck.
any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded or downloaded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from the first track to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists for the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them simply create a Smart Playlist with the rule *Has Artwork is False*. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize a smallish image you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably a good minimum size. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600 which is probably a good maximum.
If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Control-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I've created a script for Windows users that can replicate art from any track found to have art into any other tracks from the same album (stored in the same folder) which you can find at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache *(Pre iTunes 9 only)*, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again. *Post iTunes 9*, the only option is a full restore of the iPod.

    I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
    You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
    For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

    Try unchecking the tones and syncing, then re-checking them and syncing again.

  • Artwork does not appear on the grid or coverflow.

    Artwork does not appear on the grid or coverflow for several albums but appears in the artwork viewer when you play a song from the album.  How do I get the artwork to appear?  The artwork seems to be missing for albums that I believe were on a playlist that was selected when the external hard drive storing the music was not connected to the laptop.

    Went to the apple store.  They gave me an easy way to copy existing artwork to the first track as only the first track was apparently missing artwork on the affected albums.  When I got home I found an easier way to restore the artwork simply by selecting "Get Info" for one of the songs on the album.

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle or changes in the moving waveform graph with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Also, I think the 5th gen has different tech specs than the nano, so while the nano may work on a lower powered USB port, the ipod 5th gen may not.
    I would pay special attention to the following specs:
    PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
    Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    To view your USB's, right click on "My Computer" (either the icon on your desktop or under your windows start bar) then left click on "Manage." In the window that comes up open your device manager. In your device manager, look at you Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
    What you are looking for: USB2, USB2.0, high-speed, enhanced, high-powered. If you see one of these you should be able to use your 5th gen on it just fine. Try switching USB ports to see which one is your 2.0. If you have a USB port on the front of your computer these are often not 2.0, and you want to try using one on the back of the tower.

  • Album artwork does not appear in album list or grid

    I added album artwork (did get info then copy and paste) and it shows up fine in cover flow but does not appear in album list or grid view.
    What am I doing wrong?  Artwork files were scanned from album covers that I have.

    Your album artwork cache may be corrupt. Provided most, if not all, of your artwork is embedded you can simply delete the Album Artwork folder that you will find inside your main iTunes folder and then scroll slowly through the library in Grid/Albums mode to rebuild it. Any images that were "downloaded" rather than embedded will need to be reacquired.
    Threre are separate folders for the downloaded and cached images, but I've always gone for a complete rebuild so I don't know it would work to delete just the cached folder.

  • Artwork does not display on iPod

    I have attached artwork to several songs on my iPod library. The artwork is visible in iTunes when I play those songs, but they do not show when I play the songs on my iPod.
    I have looked over the Support chapters and did everything they told me to: checking the "Show Artwork" button in the iPod settings. Still, the artwork does not show.
    Any additional help would be most welcome.

    Do you have iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6?

  • Field Headinds for some Z fields does not appear in SE16n

    For some custom defined fields, headings does not appear if we use transaction SE16n. But that appears if SE16.
    Please reply if you got similar issue.
    Thanks
    Manish

    Hello Manish,
                            This is because all the the custom fields those are not created with reference to a data element won't display the filed names in Se16n.
    So if you want you can make your custom field of the append structue to refer a data element.
    Thanks,

  • Artworks does not appear in List and Grid view, but in Cover Flow

    Since a few days the Artwork does neither appear in the List and the Grid View nor in the Genius Mix. When I change to Cover Flow, I can see all Artwork. I see all Artwork also in the information tabs. I already upgraded to the last iTunes version 9.0.2 but without any effect. Restarting iTunes and my PC doesn't help at as well.
    Does anybody have an idea what the problem is and how it can be solved?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A completely blank Cover Flow can sometimes be a graphics driver problem but if Grid & List views have problems then it is probably a corrupted artwork cache. With iTunes closed rename the *Album Artwork* folder as *Album Artwork (OLD)*. Start iTunes and slowly scroll through your library in Grid mode. The cache will be rebuilt for all albums where there is embedded art. Albums that only had iTunes Store art will need to have new artwork downloaded. If all goes well delete the old artwork folder.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs.

  • Manual Sync does not appear on IPHONE summary

    Hello,
    I just purchased a new iphone today and have not been able to manually sync my music from my library into my phone. Th manual sync option does not even appear when the phone is connected to itunes. (Quite odd.) Only two options appear in the summary: "Auto Sync" and "Sync only checked songs". What is wrong? Please help!!!! I've been staring at this computer screen for hours trying to get that option to appear. Thanks....

    Have you installed the current iTunes version, and is your iPhone running the current firmware version which is 1.1.3?
    The manually manage music and videos option still requires a sync - it just provides for dragging content from your iTunes library to the iPhone instead of using a Playlist or the sync only checked songs and video option.

    My itunes album artwork no longer appears as a screen saver on my Macbook when it goes into screen saver mode.  The screen goes black and a message says that iTunes are work is not available. What can I do to correct this problem?
    Thanks

    I found the answer immediatly after posting the question.  My iphone messages were stored in itunes. When I deleated those messages, and restarted iTunes the album art work as a screen saver worked perfectly. Thanks to previous posters.

  • Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

    I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
    What's going on, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance..

    in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.
